:Western Baluchi language → {{no redirect|Western Balochi language}} – Per Ethnologue. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 11:21, 24 June 2015 (UTC) Zack90 (talk) 20:46, 17 June 2015 (UTC) Zack90 (talk) 20:46, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

  • Strong Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME, as per [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Baluchis%2CBaloch%2CBalochis%2CBaluch%2CBalochi+language%2CBaluchi+language&year_start=1800&year_end=2008&corpus=15&smoothing=50&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2CBaluchis%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2CBaloch%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2CBalochis%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2CBaluch%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2CBalochi%20language%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2CBaluchi%20language%3B%2Cc0 Google Ngram]. The root word is more commonly spelled "Baluch" in reliable English sources. + Suggest move to "Western Baluchi" as per WP:CONCISE and WP:NCLANG: {{tq|Varieties can be named by prepending a modifier to the name of the parent language, as at Standard German and African American Vernacular English. This is useful when there is disagreement as to whether a variety is an accent or a dialect, as at Estuary English, or a dialect or a separate language, as at Egyptian Arabic and Mandarin Chinese, or whether it constitutes a single dialect or several, as at Southern American English}}. Hence I think the word "language" may be removed from the title. Khestwol (talk) 21:07, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
